dude...get a cheap car, work on it, hook up some dope shit for the season, plan a trip or two...and if you're wise with it you can get all the tight shit you want without spending even half of what you got...its not all about blowin it all h-core quick, its bout bein smart with the shit and gettin the bang for the buck type thing ya know?? invest for fuckin sure though, but only after you go mad crazy spending hahahaha...if it was me id be payin off my god damn debts first hands down...and payin off some dirty cops so i own the city hahahaha

5000 for anything hyou want and throw 20,000 of it intoo either a RESP (for school), but if you already have cash saved for school then I would put it into an RRSP. If you can wait until your 65 to have that cash your $20,000 will be like $1,000,000.

You should either save and invest all of it, get a place and move to Whistler.

How exactly would you buy a Navigator, Denali, or land anywhere NEAR a mountain for 25,000? Not trying to rain on your parade, 25k is dope for sure... but unless you inherited a geni as well, you won't be buying a nav, denali, land, or a helicopter. Have fun with the 25k though, that's sick, just be sure to put some away for a rainy day

luckky, well i'd invest about 23k of it in something smart. The other 2 grand i would use to either get the sickest setup in the world and more, or a sweet trip out west. Or you could do both if you know how to get good deals.

how did you inherit it?

If I was you i would definatly try buying some property. Property is suchaaa good investment and most likely you'll end up making profit off it if you buy good land

yeah i deff. will be putting most the money in the investment policy...such a good idea to have some fuckin cash now and then in like 20 years...i can do it all over again, but this time legally)!!! say WORD. inherited it from my aunt who i was like son to (she never have none of own) Good Lady though. Alright im sick of hearing goofy ideas, new question:

besides trips, cars, bitches, hoes, illegel substances, more bitches, and a little tlc. what SETUP would you buy fo this year if you had no limit. Boots, Skis, jacket, pants...anything. Post pictures of your dream setup if you;d like.

Me: Krypton Ramps vs. SPK
Oakley Storm 1 Piece
White Oakley Crowbars
Rossignol Scratch FS WRS vs. Dumonts

other than invest it so that it will last you a little while, I would take two or three of my best friends and go to chile this summer and ski from june till september and live like a king for those three months. Sick Sick. oh and buy K2 Pontoons. $25,000 would last you way more in chile than in the u.s.
